Mystery object of the day. Small pin you might put on your collar or tie. I assume a company or organization. Was in a random box of electronic components. Maybe space or military related? #mysteryb

@ai6yr Googling around, I find that Cadence has microwave circuit CAD software they call AWR. Don't see that specific logo tho.
@ai6yr puppet related: the Thunderbirds wore those.
@ai6yr Applied Wave Research is a good possibility, but I don't see any signs of them using a globe logo. Still digging.
@ai6yr Adventist World Radio (AWR): The radio ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
@EugestShirley @ai6yr
That what Siri said!
@JoeBeam @EugestShirley Missing data set... it has no matching logos, so it picks the nearest one. It could be the radio station, but the decision point it made to get there is not valid. (ie just because it is the closest match -- but it is not the same logo, just the same letters).
@JoeBeam @EugestShirley The "closest match" problem is why using the AI (or Siri, or even machine learning) is problematic with mushrooms, lol... (poison and non-poison mushrooms being equally "closest match" based on images only)
@ai6yr @JoeBeam @EugestShirley I don't know where he got it from, but my father used to like to say "'close' only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades."
@EugestShirley @ai6yr I was searching for any use of the logo by the Adventists but came up with nothing. Was this their logo?
@EugestShirley @ai6yr Indeed, perfect example of how thoroughly AI has learned to give an answer that confirms the question, regardless of the question.
@W6KME @EugestShirley yeah, not seeing that as their logo.
@ai6yr @W6KME @EugestShirley The Adventist Media Center was located in Newbury Park for many years.
@EugestShirley @ai6yr ah yes, the AWR.
I never heard of it. Interesting though.
@arrrg @EugestShirley I am unconvinced.
@ai6yr @arrrg @EugestShirley They've been using their three trumpets logo since their inception in 1971, and by the looks of what I can find, are VERY devoted to use and protection of their trademarks. So I don't think that's what this is either. Still digging.
Any marks or numbers on the back of the pin?
@ai6yr If it had been spotted in Germany, perhaps Austereich Welle Radio? Or something not from the Anglosphere.
